Most of the AI conversation is happening at the wrong level. We're debating tools, prompts and productivity hacks when the real question is much older and much harder: what does it mean to be human?

In this conversation with Dr Tamara Patzer, we explored AI visibility, trust, leadership and why discernment matters more than ever. We talked about the shift from a visibility economy to what Tamara calls a selection economy, where AI increasingly decides what gets surfaced. But the thread that kept coming back was this: leaders who outsource their judgement will struggle, while leaders who strengthen it will thrive.

In this episode

If you're serious about leading in an AI-powered world:

  • Learn the difference between being visible and being selected
  • Use AI to challenge your thinking, not validate it
  • Build trust through experience, judgement and human presence
  • Stop delegating critical conversations to AI proxies
  • Develop the discernment needed to separate useful suggestions from noise
Episode highlights
  • 04:09 Why Tamara believes we're leaving the visibility economy and entering the selection economy
  • 08:21 My biggest concern with AI: tools that flatter us make poor thinking feel intelligent
  • 12:14 The practical prompt Tamara uses to force AI to expose weaknesses in her ideas
  • 14:33 Why the best AI users are often the most deeply grounded in philosophy, rhetoric and critical thinking
  • 21:27 The controversial case against sending AI proxies to meetings and webinars
  • 27:36 Why nobody is actually being replaced by AI, they're being replaced by people who use it better
  • 39:35 The Pandora's Box lesson that leaves us with a reason for optimism

The tools will keep improving. That's inevitable.

The question is whether we improve alongside them.
